*FOLLOWS ALONG WITH THE SHOW* Michaela Simmonds was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, the daughter of a paranoid war veteran father, and an industrious mother who worked as a nurse at Grady Memorial Hospital. Tragedy strikes and she is forced to leave her childhood behind and grow up before her prime. As she gets older, she uses the skills given to her as a child to survive, helping her greatly when the world spirals into an apocalyptic hell hole filled with cannibalistic creatures. That's when she meets Daryl Dixon. Question is, will she choose the childhood friend over her new family she has come to love?

She can't explain it. He loves the pain. She hates it. He makes it. She doesn't know. He knows too much. The woman, ever since she was a small child she felt withdrawn from society, she felt like she wasn't who everyone else was. That usually, would be a good thing, being different is good. However, not when that difference fuels everything you do for the rest of your life. Her mind was strong yet somehow so weak. Her heart was warm yet somehow so icy. The man had everything one could ever wish for, financial stability, an accepting family, a true love by their side. He adored having that, it made him happy, ostensibly. Inwardly, that happiness didn't spread that far; he had everything he wanted but something was missing. His pockets were full but for some reason he wishes they were empty. He was loved by someone that he wanted to love back. Old friends, old enemies. New friends, new enemies. One story. CONTAINS GRAPHIC AND MATURE CONTENT ©seashoredrift
